Setting up a guitar effects pedal board

Guitar players who want to broaden the scope of their sound often make use of effects pedals.

These can become an integral part of a person's set-up, which are just as important as the type of guitar they play and what amp they use.

Therefore, it's vital to ensure they are set up correctly if you need to make use of various effects pedals during a single performance.

Guitar players with more than one stomp box should set up a pedal board, which involves positioning pedals in a certain order to get the most out of each one.

Firstly, place your filters on the left so you can make use of a phasing or wah-wah effect.

This should then be followed by your compressor, distortion pedal, equalizers, pitch effects and modulators.

And then complete the line-up with a volume control and echo delay pedal positioned on the right.

You might not own or use all of these different effects pedals, and if this is the case, just put all the pedals you do have in the same order.

With an established set-up which brings out the best in each stomp box, you'll be free to craft a distinctive sound that defines your guitar playing.
